RE: War on Fiction?

in #steemit7 years ago

This misses part of the issue with Transisto's reasoning, which I voiced. It's not a matter of how people feel about it without considering all the issues. It's a matter of downvoting to effect resource allocation effectively diminishes or removes altogether the stake of other users in voting up material. There is plenty of material that all of us agree doesn't deserve rewards. However, if a piece doesn't fall into that category, who are you or anyone else to tell me that I voted incorrectly?

Sort:  

"There is plenty of material that all of us agree doesn't deserve rewards."

No, there isn't. The world is a vaster place than our minds can encompass, and even spam is considered, by someone, worthy of an upvote.

Otherwise, no one would post it.

Overall, however, you are right. No one, no matter how high their rep, or how fat their wallet, has a right to tell anyone else what to value, or whether to upvote it.

Either Steemit eventually conforms to this factual reality, or it gets replaced by platform(s) that do.

Invest accordingly. The real world cometh.

You're right. That sentence should read "that can reasonably considered unworthy of reward of any kind."
